    schedule has NOT been set yet it will be released very late on the 15th after the season is officially over or early 16th.

    the good news with the teams at least in the west set in stone (though seeding is not) they could at least work out various potential schedule possbilities.

    from the past generally Sunday games were always the games that either had the marquee teams/players of the NBA I would be very shocked if the Rockets played on the 19th unless they were playing the lakers which probably will not be the case

    Flash seats are really cool and easy. All you do is show up at the game and they swipe either the cc you paid with or you can use your drivers license. They even have a special line for flash seats ticketers. I really like it cause if i'm meeting someone all i have to do is add their info and they can get in without me being there too.

    from what I can tell and I would assume they would have these at most entrances is that you get in with your credit/debit card or drivers license being swiped their their card reader which then prints out a unique piece of paper that shows your seat location which becomes your "ticket" once already inside so you can show proof to ushers that your are supposed to be sitting in that particular seat.

    These "tickets" though arent actual tickets that can be used to let you in the area and you can only swipe your card once I would expect.

    They seem like a novel idea but I do not see how they are special in anyway outside of easy transactions and delivery back and forth from season ticket holders to sell/transfer/buy tickets to the game.

    essentially its like how when you buy movie tickets online and go to the kiosk to print your tickets out same concept but your get what they call "seat locators" and not an actual ticket

    For the playoffs, most of the tickets sold to the season & partial ticket holders were through flashseats. I'm sure that they will add more flashseat entrances for these games. During the regular season, the flashseat lines were quicket than the regular ticket lines.

    The 12 and 30 dollar tix were gone within the 1st few hours. I think the 75 dollar Rowdy tix were available then, but I have no clue now.

    I know I asked this at the beginning of the thread, but has anyone received their playoff tickets? I cant wait to see what they look like. I have been coming home everyday and checking the mail eagerly waiting for tickets.

    I just got my tickets today. I have 6 cheap-seats all the way through the NBA Finals. They look like they always have over the last few years' playoffs - like normal tickets but they say which round and game they are for.

    FWI, if anyone needs playoff tickets, I might have some extras after my friends glom up all they want, just drop me a PM or something.

    You have your email option disabled. Email me - I would be down for two tickets, if possible, for me and my younger bro!

    I received my tickets in the mail today. They look awesome. I certainly hope I can use more than the first sheet this year!
